Colloquially, it used to be called the “needle drop”—when a Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino picked a piece of preexisting music and laid it down under a dramatic scene, with seismic results.

We’re not going to lie, we’re a little bummed that our personal favorite from Wayne’s World, shown above, wasn’t higher on the list.
